They wiretapped Trump's campaign manager. Maybe

US investigators wiretapped former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election, sources tell CNN, an extraordinary step involving a high-ranking campaign official now at the center of the Russia meddling probe.

The government snooping continued into early this year, including a period when Manafort was known to talk to President Donald Trump.

Some of the intelligence collected includes communications that sparked concerns among investigators that Manafort had encouraged the Russians to help with the campaign, according to three sources familiar with the investigation. Two of these sources, however, cautioned that the evidence is not conclusive.

Nixon's crime was he thought small, eh?

Trump said the Obama administration spied on him.

This would be evidence of that.

If true.

It's CNN.

It has a triple byline.

Remember the Howie Carr Rule of Bylines -- the more names, the less likely its authenticity.

Meanwhile, the Mueller investigation is putting the squeeze on President Trump's staff, forcing them to lawyer up at great expense. The Donald is unable to pick up the tab due to "ethics rules."

Mueller has unlimited resources.

An innocent man or woman does not.

Frankly it is time to discuss why we need an FBI when local and state investigators are in abundance.

I mean other than to serve the political purposes of the swamp.

***Please enjoy my books on how the press bungled the 2016 election.

Caution: Readers occasionally may laugh out loud at the media as they read this account of Trump's election.

Obama embeds in the Deep State are going to be problematic for some time. We need to recognize their tactics and root them out. We also need to revisit our laws concerning sedition. Subverting a legally elected government is a crime. - Elric

Great observation!

I figured it out when this special counsel was announced. Others did as well. And it's been said by many.....

This country is not run by elected people. It is not run by Deep Sate people.

This country is run by powerful big-money people from the US and around the world.

President Trump's crime was to become POTUS without allowing himself to be controlled by the people behind the ruling class. Mueller has been a good soldier. Rothstein, Comey and McCabe as well.

This investigation has little to do with Russian interference in the 2016 campaign. Some of it is the establishment getting at President Trump for firing one of their own. Comey. But mainly it is a message as to what will happen in the future to anyone working to elect an unapproved candidate that will not take orders. Those that elect to throw in will be broken financially and ruined for life. Follow the money.....

As I wrote the other day, the lawyers working for the established order are billing $1,200 an hour and on humongous expense accounts. They're the ones being rewarded as the accused (although like a Kafka or Camus novel, they have no idea of what exactly they're being accused of) and their families lives are being annihilated. That they will or will not be found guilty of a yet to be explained charge is irrelevant.

Notice that with all the impropriety swirling around Hillary Clinton due to her actions, none of her staff has...or has ever had...or will ever have...any of these financial burdens.

The United States government is far more corrupt then at any time in the countries history.

CNN: There was no wiretapping! That's crazy talk! how dare you say there was wire-tapping! Ummm...nevermind.

CNN says "US investigators" and "US Government". No, It was Obama, Lynch, Comey, Brennan and Clinton. That's what Tarmac Meeting was all about; how to trick the FISA Court into wiretapping the Trumps for the Clinton campaign.

They almost have to indict now just to cover up the Criminal Wiretapping. Discovery should be fun.

The FBI surely is a problem -- but maybe Sessions not trying to control the DOJ when it comes to all the Obama people carrying out government lawsuits and Sessions not investigating the FBI investigation of Hillary is the bigger problem at the moment.

Sessions talks a good game and seems to at least be after leakers -- so it's probably not his fault and not his intent to carry out Obama's will at Justice ... but something is wrong and not yet getting fixed.
